The Weeknd Drops “Hong Kong” Official Music Video Featuring Faye Wong, Bringing Classic Hong Kong Cinema Vibes.
The Weeknd is giving fans something different with the release of his latest music video, “Hong Kong (feat. 王菲季候風),” and the visual is already getting attention for its nostalgic atmosphere and cinematic presentation.
The Grammy-winning superstar officially released the music video on November 12, 2026, giving fans a visual companion to the record that pays tribute to Hong Kong’s music and film culture.
The song features vocals from legendary Chinese singer Faye Wong, incorporating elements of her 1993 Cantopop classic “季候風” (Monsoon). The original record has a special place in Hong Kong music history, and The Weeknd’s decision to bring it into his own musical world has introduced the classic to another generation of listeners.
The collaboration brings together two different musical eras, blending The Weeknd’s signature atmospheric R&B sound with Faye Wong’s recognizable Cantonese vocals.
For the music video, The Weeknd delivers a cinematic experience featuring model Ming Xi. Directed by Evan Larsen, the visual embraces the atmosphere of classic Hong Kong cinema, with moody lighting, city imagery, stylish scenes and a nostalgic aesthetic that feels like something straight out of an old-school Hong Kong film.
The video’s visual direction also connects to The Weeknd’s longtime appreciation for the work of legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, whose movies helped influence the artistic direction behind the project.
The record itself first made headlines when The Weeknd performed it during the opening night of his four-show run at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium on October 24. The performance introduced thousands of concertgoers to the unexpected musical tribute before the song officially arrived on streaming platforms on October 31.
The release also helped bring renewed attention to Faye Wong’s original “季候風,” as listeners revisited the 1993 recording after hearing it incorporated into The Weeknd’s new song.
The Weeknd has continued showing his interest in connecting his music to different cities and cultures, and “Hong Kong” is another example of that creative direction.
With the official music video now available, fans can experience the collaboration beyond its original live debut.
